Wind-up toys store energy in a spring that is released to power a small mechanical motor. Approximately how much energy is stored in the spring in a wind-up toy car?

Have you ever seen the complexities of a helicopter swashplate up close? The helicopter's swashplate transfers the pilot's commands from the flight controls to the rotating rotor blades. Did you know that the first practical U.S. helicopter, the Sikorsky VS-300, is an #ASMELandmark and can be seen at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI? https://lnkd.in/ecp-x3nz Credit: Reddit/Toolgifs; Imgur/aloofloofah

What do we want ASME to look like and how will we get there? Hear from ASME Governor Kathryn Jablokow. #ASMEforEveryone

Inventor Chuck Hull may have envisioned that 3D printing would be embraced by manufacturing, but he could not have imagined what “customers” would do with the technology! Hull, co-founder and chief technology officer of 3D Systems Corporation, and inventor of stereolithography (SLA), described the innovative technology as a godsend that took the tedious tooling process and offered a way to produce a prototype quickly. The SLA-1 machine includes a container filled with photopolymer, a UV light source, scanning mirrors, a movable elevator platform, and a computer to design the 3D object and translate the design into commands. Recognized as an #ASMELandmark in 2016, the SLA-1 symbolizes how additive manufacturing reshaped industries by enabling complex, efficient designs and reducing material waste. Check out the third photo to see the first 3D-printed part produced by the SLA-1 machine! Learn about Hull's journey: https://lnkd.in/ezD-rang

ASME and Autodesk are thrilled to announce a new first-of-its-kind curriculum to address the manufacturing skills gap.
